I fully agree. So to add to my previous reply. Internally (for the developers), use 0-based counting. But when things are displayed visually to the _user_ i would definitely display the first row as 1. That means all internal RTL container classes including your component uses 0-based counting. Only the painting gets done as 1-based counting.
